20: LON-CAPA is open-source software where everyone is free to contribute to the
1.6 vandui11 21: development. If you think of an enhancement request or find a bug in the system,
1.1 bowersj2 22: please report it. All reported bugs and enhancement requests posted on Bugzilla
23: will be examined by the core LON-CAPA team. Having the request in Bugzilla
24: makes it much easier to keep track of bugs and enhancement requests, making it
1.4 vandui11 25: less likely such things will be lost or forgotten as requests not in
1.1 bowersj2 26: Bugzilla frequently are.
27:
1.4 vandui11 28: Bugzilla also supports conversation about requests and some workflow and
1.1 bowersj2 29: accountability features. You'll be able to see how the developers respond to
30: the bug, who is currently responsible for it, and what the developer's intention
31: is.
